Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss fired me for being on Facebook at work. He did it via a wall post on Facebook saying, "ur fired." Six of my friends liked this. FML
Today, my boss fired me. Then later on Facebook, his public status was, "Finally fired the sumo wrestler!" FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML
Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML
Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML
Today, I learned to keep your posts private on social media. Your boss might find your Facebook status updates saying, “I hate this shitty 9-5, I want to be on a beach with a margarita.” I got a call from him saying, “You’re terminated from the shitty 9-5, so you don’t have to anymore. Enjoy the beach!” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So, he used that as an excuse, but hated you for other reasons. Way to suck at your job, OP.

And that's why he's the boss and you are not. If you're ever able to find a job again, try NOT wasting your company's time and just do your ******* work that they are paying you to do.

Print his status update out. Don't retaliate on Facebook. Instead contact your state employment department and the HR department at your old job if it looks like the employer didn't follow the same guidelines he set out for you or if you think you were terminated improperly.

Well first off, this may have been the final nail in the coffin. We do not know what type of employee you were for the past 11 years, how many times you were "written up" or "counseled" either, that part is missing, so my response on what to do now can't be stated My last job, they fired someone for that reason as well, and when they fought it, the job came in with the write ups and counseling sheets for that very affect, and one of them even stated at the end of the write up "doing so again, will result in disciplinary action varying to suspension without pay to termination". Needless to say, that person ended up losing the case. If you have not been in trouble, get a screen shot of the facebook post, and also any other info you can get, since it seems it was a hostile workplace, and file a complaint with the state employment agency and also contact a lawyer

that's like at my job. managers are technically allowed to use their phones if they need to call other managers. but they all just text all day. they also sit in the office surfing the net. take food whenever they want and give free food to all their friends and family, and yet they want to take away employee discounts because they say we need to save money.

I'd had?

#41... It's called pluperfect tense, indicating action that took place before the immediate past. "I had gone to the store before I went to the bank." "I had had a job before I lost it for reasons that were my fault." Stuff like that.

I know, it just sounds weird to me.

true. many language/rhetoric experts advocate dropping the second had, but imo, "i'd had" is actually a very nice way of circumventing the awkward "i had had" and still keeping the tense clear.
